I did not think The Almighty Johnsons would turn into a comfort show as quick as this but oh well, I'm not complaining. It's just something about how simple it is and how old it is that activates the part of my autistic brain that makes it so comforting to watch 🥰

DFP Actors August: Emmett Skilton
NZ actors tend to end up in a lot of the same shows over the years it seems. I have a lot of fun spotting familiar faces, so I thought this would be a fun and silly little project, seeing which actors have repeatedly been in things that Deano was also in (not necessarily alongside). Just a bit of trivia. Enjoy!
Shortland Street (1996/2019)
They did not appear in this show together, but Dean was on this long-running soap opera back in 1996 as "Nurse Harry Martin".
Emmett has worked/works behind the scenes on Shortland Street (directing episodes from 2019-2022), as well as being credited as playing "Ross Douglas" in 13 episodes in 2019. If you follow Emmett on instagram, he posts behind the scenes stuff sometimes, especially earlier this year around the show's 30th anniversary!
The Almighty Johnsons (2011-2013)
Dean and Emmett star alongside each other for the length of the show. Dean plays Anders Johnson, one of the older brothers of Axl Johnson who is played by Emmett. This is one of my favourite shows! If you want more TAJ content hit up my sideblog @jprgirl.
Anders is a very sexual PR man who possesses the spirit of the god of poetry, Bragi; he uses his powers mostly to get his way with women, but also just in general. Axl is a less-sexually-successful college student who has a lot on his plate as he becomes Odin; his powers mostly just show up as needed, usually while trying to protect someone important to him. They are both my precious blorbos.
Auckward Love (2015/2017)
Dean plays Dan very briefly in S1E1 "So, This Is Us" and S1E5 "Hunger Games". He's the ex of the main character, Alice.
Emmett directed and wrote for the show, as well as playing Curtis - someone Alice accidentally injures - in S1E7 "Good Job" and Daniel Actionbutter in S3E7 "What exactly did you do, Vicky?". [I watched S3E7 sped up but near as I can tell he's just a voice on the movie they're watching?]
The Brokenwood Mysteries (2018/2016)
Dean and Emmett don't appear in the same episode of this show.
Emmett is in S3E1 "The Black Widower" as Dr. Byron Cotter.
Dean is in S5E4 "The Dark Angel" as Barnaby Buchanan.
His character is eating paper in the second pic; it caught me off guard when I was scrubbing for stills and made me laugh so I had to include it.
ALSO: Both of their episodes were written by Tim Balme (who also wrote for and starred on Almighty Johnsons with them)!
That's all for now! Do you know of anything I missed?

I just found out that Prime Video has all three seasons of The Almighty Johnsons, I haven't been able to do a rewatch because I didn't have access to season three, now that I do this is all I'm going to talk about for the next few days/weeks.
